The WRITE Stuff

Today is National Author’s Day and National Family Literacy Day and a perfect reason to celebrate books, reading, and writing!

As mentioned in an earlier blog, the members of HCPD (and any and all who want to join us) are beginning a BOOK CLUB! Once a location is secured, our hope is to begin this soon — stay on the ready!

I am blessed to come from a family of readers. My Aunt Florence was a librarian who made certain her children and her long list of nieces and nephews were readers. Every Christmas an eagerly anticipated gift was the book from Aunt Florence. I credit her for keeping our bookshelves stocked with every literary effort from Dr. Seuss — personal favorite and, in my opinion, a 20th Century saint!

So, who were your favorite authors as a child? Ever reflect on the impact those books had upon your world view?
